This was a Memorial Concert for a guy call Andy Durant who was a member of the band Stars. Only three members of Cold Chisel were on this stage….Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss (guitar and first vocal) and Don Walker (piano). Other artists on stage were Richard Clapton (black hair and guitar) and Renee Geyer (female vocalist) and no doubt you will find both now that you are this far down the rabbit hole.

I had the album, dont know what happened to it. Was a great album and now I have been reminded I will look at picking up the CD or download. I loved the Stars, Mighty Rock, Look after yourself, Last of the Riverboats etc. If Andy hadn't passed they would have been huge I reckon just as Little River Band were.

The day Australian rock stood still. The Andrew Durant Memorial concert. Jimmy, Mossy, Don Walker, Mal Eastick, Mick Pealing , Broderick Smith, Richard Clapton, Renee Geyer gather to honor a great talent. Broderick Smith singing Ocean Deep still gives me chills to this day

Nick - I nearly fell off my chair when you posted this! This Bob Dylan song is the encore from the Andrew Durant Memorial Concert, Andy was the songwriter, rhythm guitarist, harmony singer and harmonica player for Stars, he died at age 25 of a melanoma. The remainder of Stars, with all the other talent you see here put the concert together (with one rehearsal) and they played every song that Andy had written for the band, then played this for the encore. I was 14 at the time, Stars were my jam back then, and the rest of the concert was overwhelmingly powerful. Broderick Smith may appear drunk, he was just emotionally spent and, as were others on stage. Glad you enjoyed Mick Pealing (sang 2nd verse), Mal Eastick (my inspiration for picking up guitar at age 10 - even got to have lessons with him many years ago) and all the others. The concert and the DVD/VHS/cd/LP etc all raised $$$ for cancer research, I believe there is an Andrew Durant cancer ward in the hospital he was treated in.

That my friend was a generation of Aussie musicians and a period of Aussie music unlikely to ever be repeated again. Poker (slot) machines killed the Aussie live music scene/industry in the 90s. 1970/80s was the pinnacle of great bands

This concert was at The Palais Theatre, StKilda, Australia. The core of the band were the members of Stars. Andrew Durrant, the song writer of the band had passed away from cancer. A benefit concert was organised to raise money for cancer research. The invited guest's performer's were some of the best Australia had to offer. It was broadcast on ABC TV live.

"I'm gonna have to get therapy" talking about Jimmy Barnes voice! BAHAHAHAHAHA I love you ❤️🌈

Amazing, we are so blessed in Australia to have such an incredible music scene.

There needs to be more of Jimmy n Rene singing together... amazing..shivers..I got shivers

The smile I have watching your reactions! Big confession to make: I've been on a ThatSINGERREACTION binge for three weeks just watching the Aussies I used to listen to as a non Australian kid in the 80's and early 90's, living in Melbourne. I am soooooo enjoying it!!!!!! Brings a smile, definitely worth recommending when down and out!!!!I'm loving the reaction by our lovely bear of a host and actually rediscovering Barnsey! Never gave him credit, he's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big big fan of Farnsey but what a voice Barnsey has and all the Cold Chisel crew!!!! F'u......'n WOW! Full of mastery and so much soul!!!! So thank you and big shout out Down Under! Last of all, now living in France, I get chills when listening to Farnsey singing Help in the car with my ten-year old daughter... Bisous to all!

RENEE! Go grl! You have the smokiest grittiest most soulful vocals. My favourite female vocalist of all time

Ian Moss, another talented musician from Cold Chisel. This is a Bob Dylan song and a lot of artists finish their concerts, where there are multiply performers with this song. It is a classic

It was A Benefit concert for Andy Durant who passed from cancer in 1980. He was a member of Adelaide band Stars, who were pretty big locally. All the top talent of the time got together to raise money for Andy Durants family. They released a VHS and album, I think proceeds went to cancer research.

Renee Geyer the Australian female vocalist is awesome. Would love your reaction to her music.

Jimmy the G.O.A.T can sing anything the man is a GOD to rock

This is from The Andrew Durant Memorial Concert. List of singers in this song. Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss, Richard Clapton, Renée Geyer, Broderick Smith, Billy Rogers, Glyn Mason

Broderick Smith always has that grit and growl. Another Aussie legend.

This Memorial to Andy Durant featured some of Australia's top performers honouring Andy ,who may well have ended up as one of Australias top song writers. He died, aged 25 . The song from the same Concert, featuring Broderick Smith - Ocean Deep -was the last song Andy wrote, while literally on his deathbed-It's on KZread

Great to hear Jimmy getting some points for his singing, for a long time his voice was almost treated like a joke, believe it or not but he is a genius singer. Ian Moss and Don Walker and all who contributed to Cold Chisel will always be remembered by those who know as one of the great bands who wrote some of the best original rock songs.

Renee Geyer was gaining popularity in the US when her singing was being introduced into US radio during the late ( 70's early 80's?) by Quincy Jones. Her biggest fans were amongst the blues fans there. She tells the story, with bitter but comic, self deprication of how Quincy warned her not to put her face on her first album release there because she needed to become more established before some people would accept that she was white. She said she thought it was rubbish and put her album out " ...with my stupid big pink face on the cover...." and that was the end of her big chance in the US.

@@sofiamiliaressis5403 It wasn't really so sad as she was exposed enough to big blues names over there who actively sought her out to sing special back ups and she still worked with big names there for years and around the world also with big names that admired her talent. They all knew her or of her, she just wasn't a big name to the American public even though they would have heard her voice backing many famous artists on famous songs. She has probably had more fun and opportunities working amongst so many of her blues idols and other greats while still being a well known giant award winning talent in her own home.country. She wasn't starved for recognition at home and if recognised as a big name in the US she might have had less control and not so much longevity and fun. Renee always laughs about that gaff of her typically being headstrong and not listening to Quincy Jone's sage advice. She has a very healthy accepting attitude of her own forceful independenr personality. It got her far and it brought her and audiences around the world happiness. She is in her mid 60's now and has a raft of interview videos she has given throughout her long career. Look her up on you tube, her attitude is a real tonic.

She's Renee Geyer - one of Australia's finest.

Nick , Renee Geyer and Vanetta Fields where the backing singers for Cold Chisels last stand tour in 1983 you would remember Vanetta from John Farnham’s band

That renee geyser woman was matching Jimmy note for note!

Andrew Durant Memorial Concert..Amazing line-up & musically brilliant..Gold class musicians.. I'm so lucky I bought this album new in 1982.. It's a double vinyl album & recorded live at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne Australia 19 August 1980..16 tracks on the album all written by Andrew Durant except for 3.... Respect was shown by Australia's premier talent to perform the songs he wrote...Full artwork & lyrics with album opened shows the whole stage & artists..Most intriguing is having 2 drum kits playing simultaneously.

Jimmy is in the red shirt, everyone is in their zone, having a moment. Ian Moss guitar playing is his usual excellence. Wish I was there. Just awesome.

This was originally a Bob Dylan song but it's been covered by soooo many artists. There are solo artists and ppl from several groups on stage here. Maybe a benefit concert? The woman singing with Jimmy Barnes is Renee Geyer, a soul singer who had a number of Aussie hits in the late 70s-early 80s.

Fund raiser for Cancer research after Andrew Durant from Stars died at age 25 from a melanoma. The remainder of his band were joined by the who's who of Oz music at the time and they played every song that Andy wrote for his bandt, and they finished with Knocking on Heavens Door as the encore. I've watched the VHS/DVD of the concert about 100 times. Stars were my favourite band growing up, Mick Pealing is a phenomenal singer, as is Broderick Smith and of course Jimmy and Renee.. Mal Eastick (on the black Strat) should be world famous

Australia has produced some outstanding performers. We are so lucky💖

I have been wondering when someone would request Renee Geyer, who was phenomenal. I was lucky enough to see her in concert and she wails up a storm, then soothes it to sleep.

Such a fantastic version. So many great songs sung there that night. So glad that you then took the initiative to then review Broderick Smith (aka "drunk guy" (that wasn't drunk) singing "Ocean Deep" from the same concert, and then several Renee Geyer songs. They're locked and loaded to watch next. I've watched many of your "reactions" and love how you are so emotionally "touched" by the music you are hearing.

The guy on the piano is is Don Walker. He is the writer and architect of most Cold Chisel songs. Sure Jimmy and Mossy had their own masterpieces but the greatest was written by the original Drummer. "When the war is over" Get to know Don Walker and his Genius.

Dude, it was the Andy Durant Memorial concert. This is a who's who of Australian rock. Half of them are dead now in 2023. Andy wrote for all of them and died at a young age mid 20's. The female was Renee Geyer, she died this year from a hip infection following surgery. Broderick Smith died this year as well. He was the frontman for Brod Smiths big combo. You have cold chisel members, Richard clapton and the list goes on. Such a pleasure and a walk down memory lane. Thank you. I love Australian music!
